I had been looking for an s14a for a good month or so, having to put up with the reliable yet boring '97 Primera I had bought when my Corsa XE went tits up for that bit longer. I started looking about mid September and immediately realised I was going to struggle to find one local since PH, autotrader, forums, eBay, gumtree etc. didn't even have any for sale based in Scotland let alone Glasgow. I eventually came across one based in Barnsley that interested me so I arranged a lift down to view it last month with a couple of mates. We left early and got there for half 12, had a look around it and it seemed perfect for what I was looking for. It's been great for the last month even though you could count the dry days I've had driving it so it's been quite a learning curve! 

Spec is as follows:

3" stainless turbo back exhaust (de-cat pipe included)
Unknown tubular manifold
Polished boost pipes
FMIC
Unknown cone filter
Gizzmo boost controller
Unknown boost gauge
BEAT single DIN headunit
Boot spoiler (not sure which)

Pictures:









Planning to fit a set of Apex coilovers, a decent set of wheels and I'm going to either replace or upgrade the brakes. Any comments or criticism welcome, thanks for looking

Is it just me who thinks they look ugly in their standard form.

I like the headlights and a bit of the front bumper, but the side/rear views remind me of a Ford probe or some american thing, Saturn?

It does look a bit like a Probe, I've always thought it has a similar side profile, thankfully it doesn't drive like one though! I can see the point people are making with the looks but as said, coillies and a nice set of wheels are going to set it off a treat.
